Do the words, "I told you so" count in this case since I was only one of many who said it? I think Apple just got a little too confident on their control of media markets after their iPod success & really just threw this out there with too high a price, and too few features. Fortune It's just not […]
Read moreI couldn't agree more with this article. I think the lack of choices other than the 360 make Microsoft look interestingly selfish. Now, knowing some people at Microsoft, I can tell you they assure me that it's been technical problems working with partners, but still…it's tough to convince others when the only extender comes from you, and it happens to […]

I thought the PMCE's were a great idea, just poorly implemented. When a company like Creative releases their brick-sized PMCE, and then shortly after released a NON-PMCE device that's much smaller & better, that's a sign that companies never really were behind it.

Dave Zatz has got some cool screenshots of the new Verizon FiOS updates. This is some pretty cool stuff you should seriously consider if you're in the supported areas. Hopefully it succeeds so that they'll expand, and then grow interest from other companies as well. Zatz Not Funny Originally announced at CES, I've been given word that Verizon's […]
